At the ball where they meet, he looks down on everybody, clearly despising the local gentry. Furthermore, he tells the over-enthusiastic Bingley that he is dancing with the only presentable girl he saw that evening, adding that Elisabeth is "tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me" - a comment overheard by Elisabeth.

Darcy slights Elizabeth by making rude comments about her at the Meryton assembly, specifically commenting that she is not pretty enough to tempt him to dance with her. He also insults her family's social standing and criticizes their manners and behavior.

Mr. Darcy tries to ignore her, but it's becoming difficult for him. He suddenly wants to know more about her, he eavesdrops on her conversations, and attempts to be near her. He stares at her a lot, realizing she is pretty.

Darcy's behavior toward Elizabeth while being on the grounds at Pemberly were that of civility and maturity. He seemed to be able to talk openly and was free from pride and ignorance.
